@ODDmomof2 @GardenersSupply Did you ever get a response? I don't have time to wait on hold, and they have stopped responding to my emails. Talk about poor customer service!

[Amy Benjamin @AmyBenjaminMD]

@lgoldrick25 @GardenersSupply "Liking" to bring attention - seems like many of us are having issues with @gardenerssupply customer service.

[Amy Benjamin @AmyBenjaminMD]

@amanda_n @GardenersSupply Seems like customer service has fallen apart at @gardnerssupply.

[Amy Benjamin @AmyBenjaminMD]

@GardenersSupply What is going on? My order placed on April 17 is still not complete! I've reached out several times. Was told remaining items would ship May 15 - never received shipping conf or order. Seeing lots of similar tweets and FB posts from others. So disappointed!

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic, autoimmune condition. Management comes with physical and mental challenges. That’s why we’re here. Get connected to the community - we can’t wait to see what we can build together in 2020. #livebeyond

Photobiomodulation, neuromodulation, respiratory gated acupuncture as a conductor of neuromodulation: all novel research in chronic pelvic pain treatment. #innovators #modulation #pelvicpain #gyned #IPPS2019

[StephaniePrendergast @PelvicHealth]

Treatment for #vulvodynia is moving away from oral pharmacological therapies because there is not evidence to support it. Treatment is directed at #pelvicfloorPT, neutralizing fear, and hormonal therapies when appropriate. #IPPS2019

@suzieassanie @DrAllaire @PelvicPainOrg @lamvu_md @CanSAGE Agreed! This has been a great meeting! #IPPS2019

[Amy Benjamin @AmyBenjaminMD]

Excellent description of true multidisciplinary approach to #chronicpelvicpain and #endometriosis. Our center at @URMC has a very similar approach. Thanks for advocacy @DrAllaire! #IPPS2019

[Cheryl Iglesia MD @cheryliglesia]

Best lecture I’ve ever heard on #endometriosis by @ubcOBGYN @DrAllaire #IPPS2019 #NobrainNopain #integrative approach

[Amy Benjamin @AmyBenjaminMD]

Did you know that the WHO recommends 8-10 serving of fruits and vegetables a day? Why do we recommend only 5 servings a day in the U.S.?!?
Thanks @jessrdrummond for helping to guide us! @PelvicPainOrg #IPPS2019

[Sony S Singh (he/him) @DrSonySinghMD]

What's the perfect @endometriosis diet? @jessrdrummond @PelvicPainOrg #IPPS2019 There is NO single solution for everyone. But don't forget that everyone needs fruits and vegetables: https://t.co/87ma1xOFYG

[Sawsan As-Sanie, MD MPH @suzieassanie]

congratulations @DrAllaire @horne_research , recipients of the James E Carter and Paul E Perry achievement awards, in recognition and gratitude for their exceptional contribution to advancing evidence-based compassionate care in pelvic pain! @PelvicPainOrg @CanSAGE #IPPS2019

How does bacteria get into the small intestine? Proton-pump inhibitors and meds lowering stomach acid increases the risk. #ipps2019 @jessrdrummond #SIBO

"Who fails at being a vulvodynia sufferer? Sex workers, trans men, nonbinary people, queer people, asexuals, kinky people, non-monogamous people"
Thank you @DrFrecker for a great talk!
